Shroppie Posted 21 August, 2017 Author Share Posted 21 August, 2017 Whoops. 1-0 Wolves right on half time. Unstoppable free kick Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 21 August, 2017 Author Share Posted 21 August, 2017 (edited) Same problems as the first team. Good, sharp passing, making chances, not taking them. We're being bullied by a much bigger team. Only Afolabi showing strength.

Shroppie Posted 21 August, 2017 Author Share Posted 21 August, 2017 2-0 down now. Free header from corner knocked down for tap in. And nearly 3. Good save from Rose again. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 Poor pool of players, hence relegation last season and with a few of the best ones injured at the moment that doesn't help. The likes of Bakary, Wood, Little etc will never be PL players. Some of the younger ones are more promising but there is nobody who is going to make a breakthrough and impact the first team this season. Big gap in class from the JWP, Targett, McQueen group to the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 I think its safe to say that our second string are playing on Wednesday as we had a much stronger line up last week. (the Reading match had Targett, Hojbjerg and McCarthy) their First string look to be playing on Wednesday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 21 August, 2017 Author Share Posted 21 August, 2017 Not the age difference I expected. They must breed them big up here. We showed lots of nice touches but no muscle (except Alofobi and our #7 (? name)) and missed the early chances we got. The highlight of my night was a quick tour of the team bus. [emoji3] Apparently a new one next season costing a million. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 I used it as a chance to catch up with Corky Morris and the kids. Good 1st 25mins and a bit gash after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky morris Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 Saints poor after the first 20 minutes. Slow ball movement & lacked composure. Whole back 4 not good. Centre mid is where we lost the game. Struggle to see many of these making it to the first team. Bakary, Barnes, Wood, Cook, Little & Slattery all very poor on the night. Wolves deserved winners.

trousers Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 Bakary, Barnes, Wood, Cook, Little & Slattery all very poor on the night. Wasn't Slattery being touted as the 'next big thing' a couple of years ago? (supposedly fending off interest from Arsenal, for example). Maybe he's gone backwards in his development or perhaps tonight was just a bad day at the office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
